We feel sorry for Robbie Williams' core audience of Home Counties matrons, who'll buy his new album hoping to get something nice, like that Angels or the ones where he pretended he was Frank Sinatra's tailor, and instead get a jolly song littered with sub-Sopranos threats:

Either you’re a thief or you’re shitwhich one will you admit to?Such an evil manI used to fantasise about taking a Stanley knifeand playing round with your eyes.“I’m 16 and chubby,’ he tells me,‘Lose 20 pounds, you’re not Rob, you’re Robbie,and if I see you with a girl,then you’ll be sorry.’

Robbie Williams being ordered to keep away from girls. Just fancy, eh?

The target of this ire is Nigel Martin-Smith, Take That's manager; Williams apparently believes that he diddled him while he was in the band and favoured Gary Barlow over him, just because Barlow wrote all the songs and sang all the songs.
